CSSF and other UK government work
Middle East Eye reported in November 2018 that a British Council-commissioned assessment of the Strengthening Resilience in MENA programme, "written by management consultancy firm IOD Parc", documented the role of the Home Office's Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU) in counter-extremism campaigns in Tunisia, Morocco and Lebanon. The campaigns used rap music, graffiti, film and social media. MEE said the report described local civil-society groups being used as "buffer organisations" and was removed from the British Council website after MEE saw it. MEE quoted the report as concluding that the British Council and RICU had "succeeded in creating a platform where government and civil society can communicate more effectively". It said the programme was funded by the European Union.[7]
